What example are you setting for the younger generation? How can you inspire young girls to follow a path that was previously not available to them? Thankfully there are people who made it their personal goal to support and equip these young girls in the pursuit of a better future.
Welcome to The Gold Standard Podcast. Today’s guest is Natasha Watley, a legendary athlete, brand ambassador, speaker, and philanthropist. She is the founder of the https://www.natashawatleyfoundation.org/ (Natasha Watley Foundation (NWF)), a nonprofit organization that champions young girls through character, community, and competition. Natasha’s accomplishments include winning the Olympic Gold and Silver Medal, three World Championship titles, two Pan American Games Gold Medals, and an induction into the Hall of Fame.
Join us as we talk about teamwork, supporting young athletes, managing a nonprofit and a business, and living life according to The GOLD Standard.
“Things don’t happen on your own by yourself. For every great accomplishment that we’ve achieved, there’s a whole team behind us. ”
